Draka Communications has introduced a free software utility, Draka DrumFit, that makes life easier for anyone in the fibre deployment process who needs to calculate cable lengths.   DrumFit, a free download from Draka’s website, reinforces Draka’s continuing focus on TCO (Total Cost of Operations) for fibre (or copper) infrastructure at all levels of the deployment process. Draka DrumFit is an advanced cable cut optimiser utility that calculates the best way to cut multiple cable lengths from one or more cable drums or standard lengths. This simple software tool can save an average of 50% of cable waste costs, adding up to considerable amounts for projects needing up to thousands of kilometres of fibre cable. It will also save time for installers, cable layers and factories in their daily inventory management of large stocks of drums for fibre infrastructure projects. “It takes only seconds for the Draka optimiser to produce a result,” said Dick van den Dool, director DrakaXSNet Software Suite, Draka Communications. “With a possible 500 million combinations to find the optimal cutting choice from

a stock of a hundred drums, this simple tool will add value to drum inventory management. It’s the next best thing to manual calculation, which can take an inordinate length of time.”
